An italic serif with a steady rightward slant, medium stroke contrast, and subtly flared terminals that broaden into soft, wedge-like endings. Curves are generous and smoothly modulated, with bracketed transitions and a slightly calligraphic construction that keeps stems lively without becoming ornate. Uppercase forms feel classical and fairly open, while lowercase shows a flowing rhythm with clear entry/exit strokes and rounded counters. Numerals follow the same angled, old-style feeling, with consistent modulation and crisp terminals that hold up at display sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with authority and grace. It also works effectively for refined branding, packaging accents, and invitations, particularly in headlines and short-to-medium text where its calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and refinement rather than sharp modernism. Its slanted, flared finishing gives it a warm, humanist elegance that reads as editorial and cultured, with a touch of old-world formality.
Likely designed to provide an italic serif with a classical foundation and a more expressive finish, using flared terminals and smooth modulation to deliver a lively, readable texture. The intent appears to balance elegance and clarity, offering a distinctive italic voice for contemporary editorial and brand settings.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the sample text, producing a smooth line texture with distinct word shapes. The design leans on tapered strokes and flared endings instead of heavy serifs for emphasis, creating a lighter, faster impression while maintaining a clear serif identity.
